Cheers!

[Mr Gray]

So nothing new in what i saw but as i expected it was very sympathetic towards teh mccanns and very dismissive of amaral...unfortunately the end of the programme was lost in bufferring

[jassi]

Would you say it was worth the effort?

[Mr Gray]

Would you say it was worth the effort?

Would you be interested in my answer

[Mr Gray]

What I found interesting was how supportive it was to the McCanns
How critical it was to the Portuguese police
How much it promoted the abduction
How dismissive it was of amaral

[Mr Gray]

I think the correct term is unbiased, because I happen to remain unbiased.

I have not been posting my views of the McCanns.  I have been posting scraps of information about the forthcoming special.

Davel has predicted that it will be supportive of the McCanns.  I am of the opinion it will be heavily critical of the McCanns.  This difference of opinion matters not a jot as we will soon find out the reality of the situation.

In the OP I made it clear I was less interested in the content of the programme, which I strongly suspect will be froth, and more about what it reveals about sentiment in Australia.

I found Natasha Donn's view on the UK take and the Portuguese take informative.  I am simply hoping to get a view on the Australian take.

A very good and sensible programme. As I predicted it would be it was extremely supportive of the McCanns and the interviwer was almost laughing as amaral and pat brown expressed their views. It also supports my view that the McCanns will be more pro active in promoting their innocence... I was actually surprised they took part.

I hope this programme gets a wider audience and perhaps gets shown on UK TV

Is that a non biased opinion ?
